When it comes to talk about antisocial behavior, several kinds of
ideas come to our minds. We can imagine antisocial as shy people, people who doesnt like to spend time with others. But there is another meaning to this, and its the behavior that people with no respect to other people, collectives and public or private property or infrastructure. Lets think about the typical gang of any city that spends time doing things like stealing at small scale, or pickpocket bands in subways, hooligans fighting in football matches, drug dealers There are three main ways the governments can apply: punishment, education, and the promotion of activities. Im not going to choose only one of this lines of actuation, because I think that the solution is a combination of all of them. Attending to the causes of the problem rather than just punishing is the best way to approach the problem. It seems obvious that when this kind of situations arise, education at all levels (family, school) has failed. There must be the idea that good behavior, dedication and effort are the key to be successful in life. Here is when punishment has to do its best. We cannot spread the idea that not legal activities or behaviors can offer more benefits than a right way of living. But when it comes to this extreme, punishment must have a reinsertion focus more than a revenge. To conclude, I think we must do our best in education, and when education fails, use the punishment as a way to redirect people.
